- "and according to the idea of each one and you would never be anyone"
Do we need the latter "and"?
Despite the horrible misspellings in the pre-edited source text, I think your translation is excellent (as usual).

19 September 2011 02:33 | | | Yeah, the original is a bit clumsy. I'd make a few editions, but I think if we split it in more sentences, perhaps it will sound better in English.
My suggestion:
"In life try to be as you are and never as the others want you to be. Since everyone wants you to be in a different way and according to the idea of each one, you would never be anyone."
